Scientists plan to drill all the way down to the Earth's mantle

British scientists plan on drilling 5 miles deep to earths mantle to take rock samples from the mantle. there would only be a few problems, the atmospheric pressure and the degrees farenheit, both would rise dramtically the further you go. the benefits of what they are trying to do would be the un-tainted mantle sample, instead of the corrupted samples volcanoes bring up from the mantle.

Volcanologists have eye on the sky

New Zealand has launched a one of a kind satellite. a laser and radar eye in the sky. its purpose is to keep eyes on the volcanoes in the area. for now they use it to monitor the volcanoes activity to calibrate it for future data collection. until then they will use the same tools they have been using to monitor the 7 volcanoes.

Ice Cores From Greenland

paleoclimatologist James White has made recent discoveries in ice core samples taken from icebergs. it reveals that during ive ages carbon dioxide levels are low, around 180 in the ice samples. where as when its warmer the CO2 levels increase to around 280 parts per million. The second finding is that the changes in the CO2 level happened fast and at that rate means the ocean rose rapidly. right now we stand at 392 ppm which means the earth is rapidly changing  and sea levels could rise soon.
